Plans for the transition to the Foxtrot variant began in 2014, with funds allocated for the program in 2018. Under an €820 million contract, Boeing upgraded the CH-47D fleet to the CH-47F variant.
The first helicopter arrived at Boeing's Ridley Park, PA, in 2020, after some delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first of the upgraded Chinooks arrived in Spain in November 2021 and was received with an official ceremony at the Colmenar Viejo base in January 2022.
In February 2023, the CH-47F completed its certification for embarked operations aboard the BPE Juan Carlos I.
In October 2024, Boeing delivered the 17th and last upgraded CH-47F Chinook to Spain. An additional new-build helicopter was delivered in April 2025.
